Day after …

In the royal palace,

​​

The entire staff members are trying to be careful around Prince Alarick and her mother, Persephone.

It has become known to most staff members that King Viktor hurt Persephone in her private chambers.

A hot topic amongst the staff members of the royal palace.

Whispering and discussing about Persephone and King Viktor.

Gossiping while doing their own chores …

Though, Persephone is showing as if nothing happened and walking her way towards the main office of King Viktor.

Such confidence and unwavering fortitude for oneself.

Staff members and guards making way for Persephone. Making sure that they do not block her way.

As soon as Persephone's entrance to the main office of King Viktor was announced, the other ministers left the two alone including Beta Nolan and Mia.

Everyone left the two on their own in the main office.

Despite what happened between the two, the King of all Alpha werewolves does not feel any remorse for what he did towards Persephone. He looked at Persephone with irritation and with no hint of adoration.

"And why are you here? Are you ready to finally tell me the truth about where were you these past few days?" King Viktor directly asking Persephone without holding back his own feelings.

Persephone stood in front of King Viktor's desk with so much confidence and with no sign of fear.

"Didn't I told you already last night? I was so clear about it last night even after you trashed my room and gave me such loving gestures that made me feel so special." Persephone clearly being sarcastic at her mate.

It only aggravated King Viktor further, "If you are not going to tell me, why are you even here? Are you really asking for a death wish from me?"

Despite the tension that King Viktor emits, Persephone sat brazenly on top of the desk of King Viktor.

Without shame and boldly disregarding her mate's agitation, Persephone exudes such an alluring aura.

"We both know that you can never kill me. No matter how much I boil and provoke your ego… You can never end my life! I am that important in your plans. After all, I am your only connection within the demon king's inner circle. You and I know that you … still … need … me!" Persephone gently seducing her mate.

But King Viktor avoided Persephone's touch and went to stand by the large window of his main office.

The King of all Alpha werewolves tries to find the right words to say to his own mate. "That does not permit you to go behind my back and plotting against me."

"I told you many times already. Whatever I do, whatever my OWN PLANS are… I will always make sure that you do not end up dead. I swore my loyalty to you remember. Even how many times you hurt me, deliberately or not! All these years, you are still alive. So, stop worrying about my actions." Persephone explaining herself.

Then she continued, "Though, I cannot say that I can assure your other children's life."

"What?!" King Viktor looked at Persephone after hearing her last statement.

"I said, I may have sworn my loyalty towards you but I never promised anything to your children. I may have let you and Esmeralda take the crown and throne for yourselves but our son will not experience the same thing as I went through. I will help him acquire the crown and take over the throne that you love so much." Revealed by Persephone.

"I will decide who becomes my heir to the throne." Emphasized by King Viktor towards his mate.

"Then I guess you are up for a rude awakening, dear! Because this time around I will not let our son get robbed of his right to be your rightful heir. So, from today on, we will claim what is rightfully ours." Confidently stated by Persephone.

Beta Nolan suddenly came inside the main office barging in and showed the letter to his king.

King Viktor read the letter and looked at Persephone immediately after reading the letter.

"Three of my generals are dead and your son has something to do with it. Apparently, one general of mine survived and is under the protection of Princess Shiveena and Prince Ranku. Leave us, Nolan!" King Viktor starting to become more irritated towards Persephone.

"Lucky for him! I am so proud of our son. He really does resemble a lot like you!" Persephone started to stand and move away from the desk of King Viktor.

Since Persephone noticed the increased tension around King Viktor's expression, she sat on the couch while stretching her legs together as she looks at the sight of King Viktor.

"Mother like son! Both rotten…" King Viktor was not able to finish his thought because Persephone interrupted him with her laugh.

After the unrelenting laugh of Persephone, she pointed out. "You speak about being rotten? I did not know that you had this humor, dear! Haha!"

Even though she has sat comfortably, Persephone stood once again and approached boldly towards King Viktor.

Unafraid of the possibility of getting hurt once again, physically.

As she approaches King Viktor without fear,

Then Persephone continued, "There is no one… can be compared to how rotten you are… VIKTOR…Because you are rotten to the core of your soul! You have done much worse compared to what I and our son have done, combined…"

The king of all Alpha werewolves just looked at Persephone since she is indeed pointing out the truth that he kept hidden from others.

"You have killed too many lives, innocent and enemies, alike. As long as your power, reputation, and authority are kept, you do not care about anyone's life. You think I am not aware that you are the one who killed Esmeralda's mate. How ironic fate is? Both true lovers died with that filthy hands of yours. You speak of rotten? We both know who is more rotten than the two of us…" Persephone stood closely at King Viktor and touched his chest.

"You even killed your own brother just for the sake of keeping the throne to yourself without question!" unyielding stabbing stares from Persephone as she looks directly at King Viktor's eyes.

================

In the room of Prince Alarick,

While the prince looks at himself in the mirror preparing himself…

He asked one of his entourage waiting for him,

"Is everything ready?"

"Yes, Prince Alarick!" replied by his officer.

"Time to claim what is rightfully mine!" declared by Prince Alarick.
